3 Responses to A note to inspire…

Chelsea, thanks for the well wishes and for sharing this note. I had the pleasure of meeting Matthew last year, and I must say, he is definitely an inspiration. I love seeing that his light shines in all areas of his life and on those around him. Thank you both for being members/supporters of the DaVita family.

Chelsea – Thank you for sharing your thoughts about Matt and his love for Tour DaVita. He is a great guy who has embraced the Spirit of the Ride with an enormous amount of vigor and a broad smile. He is great to ride with and a fun conversationalist. I look forward to seeing him again this year and thank you for supporting him in his journey. Your kind words encapsulate the true Spirit of the Ride!

No need to thank me at all! Matty is MY inspiration in every aspect of my life. We have so much fun together and I couldn’t imagine my life with any other man. He talks very highly of y’all and the whole company. Everybody take good care of him in Oregon because I’m going to miss him so much!

About Tour DaVita

Tour DaVita is an important and beloved tradition. Much more than a fundraiser or awareness vehicle, it’s a special time when teammates across the DaVita Village come together as a community first and a company second. First-time riders are struck by the friendliness, encouragement and team spirit of their fellow riders. You could say that Tour DaVita is The DaVita Way on wheels!

The spirit of giving is what inspires teammates, physicians, patients, family members and friends of DaVita to train hard, raise support dollars, use their own vacation time and pay their own airfare to and from the Tour. Money generated from Tour DaVita is used to change lives here in the United States and around the world through Bridge of Life. Your donations help raise awareness about chronic kidney disease and strengthen healthcare in underserved communities around the globe.
